No Quantum Entanglement in Governor Lalong Stewardship To The Citizens Of Plateau
By: Balami Lazarus
I partly grew up in the city of Jos and schooled in one of the then top rated secondary schools Plato-College Sharam former Yakubu Gowon College in present Kanke Local Government Area, the home of the Gowons , Dimkas and the Gomwalks . As a young secondary school boys , my mate and i saw governors came and left who really gave the people of the state developments in security, economy and social infrastructure for the betterment of the citizens.
I have worked in Jos and still living in the city, this should tell anyone reading this piece that I have a reasonable knowledge and understanding of the socio-economic, political voyage and dynamics of the state. I am a leader of a political group known as “The Mandate” under the PDP.
In Quantum Physics , the term entanglement describes the way subatomic particles with a common past may interact with one another regardless of how far apart they are. This is called Quantum Entanglement. Therefore, the stewardship of Governor Simon Bako Lalong for nearly eight years 2015 to 2022 has no relationship with the past government .
I have been following the Lalong style of governance since coming to office. The Governor has not been doing well in some aspects like security, economy , infrastructure and employment . In 2019, Simon Bako Lalong as the State Chief Security Officer told President Muhammadu Buhari who was on a working visit to the state that “there is peace on the Plateau “.While at the same time there was mass killings in Bassa Local Government by Fulani herdsmen. Lalong was not sincere and truthful to Mr President and the people of the state

Are you aware that my colleagues in the media did not and have refused to report the gruesome killings at Bassa ?. The security of the state has been politicized by Lalong government creating a divide resulting to accusations and counter-accusations. In this regard Lalong has failed.
The citizens of the state has not seen or felt any breath of the economy in their lives since coming of Governor Lalong. The Governor has not improve on the economy by either establishing new industries or improving on the existing ones . The Governor has been sardonised with names like 33 and alert that are not related to any development undertaken by his administration .
In 2018, Governor Lalong made a statement that shook the citizens of the state by saying ” I will die for Buhari”. By this statement the Governor has taken side politically. Governor Lalong is a puppet control by power brokers who mean nil for the progress of the state. He is being surrounded by sycophants and boot-leakers who are to themselves only. It is alleged that Governor has placed some monthly allowance running into millions of naira to this sycophants.
Going by the art of his administration, the Governor has grossly abandoned the people of the State. This is what most people of said of him ” Governor Simon Bako Lalong has failed us and he is the worst Governor in the history of the state ” .
It may interest you to know that Governor Lalong lacks the understanding of his constitutional powers, roles, rights and privileges as an Executive Governor. He lacks confidence, timid ,fearful and lack focus which has positions him in a dilemma.
The APC as a ruling party in the state is loosing grounds. Members and electorates are long disappointed because of his attitudes to the affairs of the state and his wrongful imposing of unpopular candidate as the party flag bearer for the 2023 general elections.
Dr Nentawa Yilwada who was forcefully brought by the Governor is an unpopular candidate and has no political track records. Therefore, Nentawe is not politically marketable nor sellable to the electorate. I foresee the fall of APC on the Plateau.
